Lavoy Allen is expected to sign a deal in China.

He drew little to no NBA interest after the Pacers declined his $4 million team option back in June. The 28-year-old big man has career averages of 4.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.6 blocks. Sun, Dec 3, 2017 11:21:00 AM

It's not surprising as the Pacers get ready to rebuild. Allen showed he could play both big spots for the Pacers, but most teams may not want the 6'9" Allen as a backup big for next season. He's still likely to get some interest at age 28. Fri, Jun 23, 2017 06:03:00 PM

Lavoy Allen pulled down a season-high 14 rebounds against the Celtics on Wednesday, adding eight points, two rebounds and no turnovers in 22 minutes.

His 22 minutes were the most he's played in a game this month and it was surprising to see him get so many important minutes. Of course, Allen won't have much value as long as Thaddeus Young is healthy. Wed, Mar 22, 2017 11:00:00 PM

Lavoy Allen (knee) was able to play 16 minutes in Sunday's 116-91 loss in Toronto, finishing with two points, three rebounds, a blocked shot, an assist and a steal.

Allen is stuck in the 15-20 minutes per game range and only worth using in the deepest of fantasy leagues when healthy. Thaddeus Young appears to be back on track after dealing with some struggles toward the end of February and the early part of March. As long Young continues to be effective it will keep Allen mostly on the bench. Sun, Mar 19, 2017 08:51:00 PM

Darren Collison is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to miss the next 2-3 weeks of action.

Arthroscopic knee surgery is one of the more minor procedures a player can undergo, so his absence shouldn't extend beyond that 2-3 week window. Cory Joseph should be starting over the next few weeks with Collison unavailable, so he could be worth a speculative add in deep leagues, although he's more of a wait-and-see guy in 12-team leagues with 13 roster spots. Joseph Young should also have the opportunity for some more minutes while Collison is out.

Robinson III has been making progress in his rehab and has been playing for the Pacers G-League affiliate. However, the Pacers don't want to rush him back to the big leagues. There is a nine-day break between the last game before the All-Star break and the first game after. GRIII will be on a minutes limit when he gets back, which limits his fantasy value. He should be left on waivers.
